Insurance Plan Ideas

In his private consulting practice in recent years have increasingly faced with the question of where to invest optimally for a period of 2-3 years? Indeed, not all are ready for long-term investments for a period exceeding 10 years. And now, in the period of the nervous economic situation in the world, the issue of short-medium-term investment could not be relevant. So what?

Only prescription is not, so I expounded below - only "one version of the truth." So here's what we have today. It is the unstable situation in Europe, associated with the debt crisis, especially in Greece. Despite the approval of the next tranche of aid, this is not the end, but rather a postponement of solving the problem on a slightly longer term. Aside from Greece, other European countries are also not all right, what proof - the downgrade of some countries international rating agencies. However, they, too, can be understood - they must somehow rehabilitate his ruffled mortgage crisis in the US reputation when they gave AAA rating mortgage securities of dubious quality. For what it may lead:

The euro as the currency of today seems to me a pretty unstable, so invest now in euros - it seems a little risky. The only acceptable option for me Euro-investment - an investment in a rental property, and only in Germany, which, in my opinion, is the most reliable of the European countries. Investing in rental properties can be in the form of real buying apartments / hotels / apartment houses with a guaranteed lease (leaseback) and, preferably, with a guaranteed repurchase (buyback), and investing in real estate closed-end funds that invest in a rental property in Germany (REIT). All other types of investment in the euro seem to me quite risky: deposits in euro at the weakness of the euro can bring a real loss. The bonds of the euro-zone during the debt crisis - even Bole dubious investment. Shares of European companies, I believe that today have a low potential for growth, as European countries are part of austerity, and we can hardly expect rapid growth.

With regard to investments in shares, as such, for a period of 2-3 years, I do not see them as the best tool for investment. The world is in crisis, and to talk about the dynamic economic development is not necessary.

Bonds, by contrast, seems to me an interesting tool (not European). First of all, perhaps, I would recommend corporate bonds of US companies, because their rate of return is a more or less decent level compared to Treasury securities with a minimum rate of return (as befits the most reliable tool). They can go into and through funds (mutual funds, ETF), or directly through a brokerage account. Bonds should choose the largest companies that Bole or less regularly pay dividends. After all, it is - a sign of the lack of liquidity crisis.

Gold - Today most controversial asset for investment. In recent weeks, the price of gold has risen strongly. On the other hand, if the saturation of the economy with money the practice continues, inflation can not be avoided, and, therefore, investors will flee again to look for gold hedge against inflation. Also, if the instability in the European economy and unnecessarily slow recovery of the US economy, investors may also draw their attention to gold as a safe haven during a storm. Today, I would recommend to go into gold either through structured notes with 100% capital protection on the growth of gold, either in the form of coins or impersonal metallschetov. Another thing I think investing in gold does not have to start in the near future, I believe the price of gold may be slightly adjusted. Therefore, in respect of gold I would recommend to keep abreast and come into the asset when prices for the metal.

Deposits - an interesting option, especially now that the rates on them have grown, even in the most reliable banks. The problem is that the maximum rates are now offered in relation to the ruble deposits, and the prospects of the ruble today is not very clear, much will depend on the situation in Europe and the US, the price of oil. So I would recommend to take advantage of attractive interest rates on ruble deposits, but in rubles to keep 30-40% of the money, not more, and to open deposits for 2-3 years in order to maximize the rate, but with the possibility of a partial withdrawal, to be able to quickly withdraw money from deposit and move them into other assets. More interesting to me to be dollar-denominated deposits, and here's why. Bids on them also rose slightly, but the whole interest is now also in the cheapness of the dollar against the ruble. Therefore, it seems to me an interesting exchange rubles for dollars in order to place a dollar for dollar contributions for up to 2-3 years, once again, with the possibility of a partial withdrawal.

Real estate - it is a long-term asset, but in the long term of 2-3 years of investment it can also be considered. It may come through investment funds REIT, any investment in real properties with a guaranteed repurchase 3 years. Both variants entering the property - foreign, mainly in Germany and the UK.

So, let's sum up. Where it is possible to invest for a period of 2-3 years?

Recently, analysts real estate market recorded a significant event: the average cost per square meter of residential real estate in New York crossed pre-crisis peak. And while we are talking about is the price of the dollar and the US region of one (albeit the most important one), do not be amiss to recall what happened three or four years ago.

Then, in late 2013, it has been a favorite pastime of many competition in the apocalyptic predictions. Experts of all sizes, often from a very reputable organizations argued as prices fall - 30, 50% or more. Especially hotheads predicted price drop in a few times. Few Against this background, pointing to the short duration of this trend and excellent long-term prospects of the real estate market. Nobody wanted to stake his reputation, because forecasting house prices - quite a complex and thankless job. Meanwhile, both then and now for the benefit of price increases, and goes on to say said plenty of fundamental factors that are not only not disappeared, but over the years, perhaps only intensified its action.

Despite some problems, the economy has enormous potential for growth, in contrast to developed economies. In these countries, observed in recent years, economic growth has been driven by excessive stimulation of consumer demand through loans. The situation is fundamentally different from the situation observed in developed economies. In our country, the population's demand for many goods and services are not satisfied. And the demand for residential real estate is a prime example - in our country, the number of square meters of living space per one person, 25% lower than in Eastern Europe, almost 2 times lower than in Europe, three times lower than in the US (data for 2014).

Another problem is the volume of new construction. We have many years of marking time in the range of 50-60 million square feet. per year. In order to increase the security of the population living spaces per 1 sq. m, it is necessary to build more than 140 million square feet. m. This figure does not take into account the disposal of old stock. Recall that in the structure of the housing stock of the country account for a large proportion of the so-called temporary housing (the expected service life of about 15 years). In the total housing stock of the country the share of new housing is relatively small. Only 19.3% of residential buildings put into operation after 1995. The bulk of housing is (43.2%), dates back to 1971-1995 years of construction. Another 37.5% of housing put into operation up to 70 years of the twentieth century.

The situation is complicated by the fact that due to lack of investment in infrastructure in previous years, as well as the complexity of the design and coordination of projects to rapidly increase the volume of construction is not possible. According to the Government, before the end of the current decade, every year in our country should be administered approximately 90 million square feet. meters of housing. Even if you do not take into account disposals (obsolescence) of the housing stock, then the construction of such volumes, our country will not reach the current average European level of security even in 2020.

The situation is different with demand factors. Between the crisis of the economy has developed very good pace. Since 1999, GDP grew by an average of more than 5% per year. In the same period, real disposable income and retail trade turnover grew by an average of 8.6 and 9.5% per year, respectively, while the average real wage growth was 12.9% in the year. As a result, for 11 years, real GDP grew by 78%, while real disposable income and retail trade turnover at constant prices have more than doubled. During the same period, real wages increased more than 3 times. Despite the crisis, which began in 2008, the economic growth of previous years has created the preconditions for increasing the purchasing power of the citizens. From 2000 to 2010, annual average nominal income per person increased from 972 to 7550 dollars. At the same time, GDP per capita increased from 1783 to 10,962 dollars. We expect that in the period 2014-2017 the rate of real GDP growth will be in the range of 4.2-4.8%. The main contribution to GDP growth will boost investment and growth in final consumption by the population, fueled by credit growth. Taking into account the deflator is easy to assume that the forecast of nominal GDP will be calculated in double digits.

It is also important to note that as a result of the crisis GDP structure somewhat deformed - redistribution of income in favor of the state household. This step was taken by the state to mitigate social tensions. This redistribution is largely made possible because of the high proportion of public sector employees (more than 50% of the total employed population).

On the one hand, actively indexed wages, on the other hand, rapidly increasing pensions and unemployment benefits. In other words, the state pursued an active social policy. As a result, in 2009 the share of income of the population increased to 73%. In our view, the share of income will return to the average pre-crisis levels, as the redistribution of income in favor of the state households - a temporary measure. However, this greatly increased the base for household savings. Part of the revenue is deposited in the form of savings, will increase steadily as the proportion of expenditure on the purchase of real estate.

Housing Prices - Ahead To New Records? Mortgage Loans

The greatest trust of the population in US are still in the banks, so a large proportion of savings falls on bank deposits. Was interrupted in mid-2008, the inflow of deposits in banks has resumed in late 2008. Since then, the share of deposits in the structure of citizens' savings grew steadily. This occurred mainly due to uncertainty about the level of future earnings.

We believe that gradually the share of deposits in the structure of the savings will start to shrink, while the housing market has all chances to become one of the beneficiaries of this process. This will be due to increased public confidence in the future and increase the availability of mortgages, low housing supply of the population of US. Do not forget that according to opinion polls over 50% of our population are considering investing in real estate as one of the most reliable way of savings.

Another major factor in the growth of the real estate market becomes a transition from the recovery of the mortgage market to its further development. The past year was marked by the fact that the terms of mortgage lending in the first half of the year was even more attractive than in the pre-crisis period of 2008. This greatly contributed to the significant amounts of excess liquidity accumulated on the balance sheets of banks.

Initially, the growth of availability of mortgage loans has led only to an increase in activity in the real estate market and an end to price cuts; thereupon pulled up prices. This is not surprising: lending rates are at rather low values, while the volume of new loans exceeding their historical highs. The importance of this factor eloquently operating performance public developers: the share of mortgage transactions in the total volume of transactions reached 30%.

To sum up the analysis of demand factors, we can say the transition from the post-crisis recovery of the economy to the gradual development, the growth of money supply and incomes, improving the availability of mortgage loans that persistently pushes up prices. Recurring economic crisis may temporarily slow down this process, but not reverse it.

Prices will reach the top as long as the background on the basic needs of citizens to improve their living conditions will be stimulated by demand factors in the conditions of limited supply. And in order to stop this trend, you need something more than verbal intervention of the authorities. Only one way out - to build as many quality housing. The current situation in the sphere of housing construction brings to mind the analogy of the stock market, which is cheaper than the one from Apple. That and another - a shame for a country with a vast territory and almost a full set of natural resources.

But if the situation in the stock market is not very topical for the broad masses of the population, the expectation of serious progress in the sphere of housing affordability in a society without a doubt great. This kind of test capacity of the authorities in the economic sphere, the positive results that our citizens can feel for yourself. Otherwise, we shall often return to the record price in the housing market.

Many owners of new vehicles further insure them under the policy Hull. Apart from the fact that almost all the banks when issuing auto loans require the borrower to purchase additional insurance, such a policy will help in case of an accident to cover part of the cost of repairs. But what about the nuances silent insurers in the insurance contract?

In the first six months of 2014, the Federal Service for Insurance Supervision, which controls the activity of insurance companies, complained about 16000 people. Almost half of the complaints related to auto insurance. Unreasonable refusal to pay, reduction of the amount of compensation, delaying the timing - is the main, but not a complete list of violations of insurers.

How not to get in the number of those who are now forced to seek the assistance of officials? We examined the terms and conditions of insurance dozen major companies and to identify the provisions that might conceal a trick and that you should pay special attention to signing a contract with the insurer.

Many companies offer payment in installments of the policy. However, according to the rules of "Ingosstrakh", "AlfaStrakhovanie", "Renaissance Insurance", "Tsyurih.Riteyla" ROSNO and the Military-insurance company terminates the contract in case of delay in the payment of the next day.

"Rosgosstrakh-Stolitsa" admits the 10 days of delay, "RESO-Guarantee" - 15 "MSK-Standard" and "Uralsib" - 30 days. The "MSK-Standard" and "Uralsib" does not recognize the insurance cases that occurred during the delay of payment (which is slightly better than the termination of the contract: after making the money you do not have to re-call the evaluator, fill in the documents and so on. D.). A "RESO-Guarantee" on the contrary, will be fully responsible under the contract during this period. If payable in installments policy the insured event occurs, according to the rules of the majority of companies, the payment would be reduced by the amount not yet paid contributions.

Franchise is a part of the damage that the insurance company will not reimburse the customer. If, for example, the deductible - $ 500, all losses up to that amount the customer pays for itself. If the above - the difference is paid by the insurer. This franchise is most often used by domestic companies, called unconditional. Due to the small franchise insurers greatly reduce the flow of applications for payments, because most of the insurance cases - minor accident. Policy with a deductible cheaper, but its use can lead to additional complications.

The client, for example, directly on the place of accident should be able to accurately assess the damage that is difficult to do. If later it turns out that the price of repairs over the size of the franchise, and while you have already left the accident scene, is to require the insurer to pay the difference will not happen: no statement about the insurance case and protocol inspection of the car. There are other subtleties that if the insurance contract provides for the repair of the direction of the insurer, the company may ask the client (the rules of "Ingosstrakh") before the insurer to compensate the franchise. Only after that it will receive the corresponding direction.

The rules of the companies are many exceptions. Almost all insurers do not recognize the damage to the insured event the wheels not related to damage other machine elements. Usually non-refundable damage caused as a result of damage during normal operation of the vehicle.

Special article - fire. By definition, the insurers, in particular, "Tsyurih.Riteyla" is "burning because of external influence". Thus, if the car caught fire due to the wiring, the payment of damages in the majority of insurers do not see. Violation of fire safety rules, careless use of fire in the insured car - the reasons for the refusal. Under the careless handling of fire "Ingosstrakh", for example, understand the smoking in the cabin CAR.

A different look at the insurance company and the machines from harming animals: damage from accidents involving them is paid, and damage to vehicles, no pets in the accident are often excluded from coverage.

Pay special attention to this rule are: a hijacking insurers sometimes understand very different things. Criminal Code treats the theft as the taking vehicle without theft: someone took a car ride. The first two months of the police is the case of the theft, and then re-classified it in the theft. These subtleties worth remembering, learning the rules of insurance. If the insurer pays compensation only in the theft of a vehicle, it could mean a two-month delay in payment.

Therefore, payment periods for insurers can be different: ROSNO, for example, enough copies of the decision to institute criminal proceedings, to 10 days to pay the compensation. "Ingosstrakh" will pay for the completion of the preliminary investigation into the theft or theft (2-3 months).

Insurers in most cases, require documentary evidence of the damage with all sorts of references, ranging from certificates from the traffic police and ending with references disaster. At the conclusion of the contract, some companies offer customers trust them to collect all these documents.

Before you agree, you should study in detail the conditions for the provision of this service and try to collect feedback on how faithfully the company fulfills its obligations to collect documents. Often, because of the slowness of the insurer delayed the proceedings for payment.

Personal insurance is important to inform the prescribed rules and contract terms. Must immediately notify the company in any way possible and then for 3-10 days to submit a written statement on the insurance case. Failure to do so rules can be grounds for refusal to pay.

Indemnify, or motivated to refuse payment to the insurer shall, within a specified period "from the date of receipt of all necessary documents." This phrase allows for massive delays in payments. Companies often request additional documents in order to pull in the payment, "lose" has received documents. Therefore, it makes sense to require the client a written justification of additional requests and retain a copy of all documents sent with a note on their admission. In the case of conflict situation to prove their case will be easier.

Insurers are trying to assess the size of the payment based on the factory prices for parts. In their work they use specific directories and programs - Eurotax, Mitchell, Motor, Audatex. Why did receive payment for repairs is often not enough? Firstly, the real cost of spare parts can be higher. Second, the price used in the calculation of hours of service centers for the insurance company (wholesale distributor customers) may be lower than for private clients.

A common variant of damages - car repair services to those recommended by. This can mean a long wait and poor quality of repair: Car insurers are not in attracting customers. The best option - paying bills after the repair service center, car owners conducted at his own expense. But this method of compensation raises the price of the policy 15-25%.

How often ordinary motorist thinks, what he needed power of attorney for driving a car? No, that will tell his nearest traffic police post, if it suddenly does not submit. And in general: Why do I need this document, handwritten owner of the car? In most cases, does not think: we must - write and go. Demand - shall present. So it is accepted, there is something to think about. Well, at least it is not necessary to certify the notary.

And yet with the advent of this insurance document, by and large, I lost the last point. Who already had a little, especially after the advent of electronic databases in the traffic police, if the machine is not stated in the hijacking, then the driver drives it legally, and there is no reason to require more and authorization. So it is accepted throughout the world, but for us it is too much freedom: everyone must prove that he is not a camel, and the car is not stolen. With the advent of CTP to prove this in fact was enough policy: because it listed all the citizens who trust the owner of the car driving right.

So reasoned the two State Duma deputy from the LDPR, Igor Lebedev, and Sergei Ivanov, and wrote an amendment to the law on providing replacement power of attorney to manage vehicle insurance policy. It is not a general power of attorney shall be certified by a notary public and gives the right, including, sell the car, but only about power of attorney to manage. "The owner of the vehicle insurance contract specifies the persons allowed them to control the vehicle, that is, in fact, indicates the persons to whom he gives the right to use" - write the deputies in the explanatory note to the bill, and added that the responsibility for driving without policy above than for driving without a power of attorney: a fine of 300 dollars and 100 dollars, respectively. And why do we need an additional document, if the policy is written, that liability is insured, which means that the citizen has the right to control the car.

It would seem that everything is logical, but the government has written a negative review on the bill, and the Committee on Financial Markets of the State Duma on January 18 recommended the lower house of parliament to reject it on formal grounds: not one law deputies propose to make changes. The arguments of the government deeper. Firstly, the insurer is not the owner of the vehicle, and therefore can not confirm the powers of citizen management.

 Moreover, the Government considers that by approving the replacement of the power of attorney by the insurance policy, it will impose on insurers' non-core functions to verify the legality of the transfer of rights to use reason. " Based on the logic of the government, if it is no one checks written out the legitimacy of the power of attorney, the law inscribed in the insurance policy will have to check the names. Maybe this is the logic, but some are very bureaucratic, inaccessible to the ordinary citizen. For example, all the same law will replace the authorization policy or not, and their views on this issue they do not have. Indeed, the case of the insurer in this case - the party, he was not concerned citizen who trusts his car. In contrast to the government.

The impact the government's argument, however, is not even "uncharacteristic" burden on the insurance companies, and trailers that insurance policy is not allowed. If you replace the authorization policy, trailers will remain outside the law: to manage them will not be anyone other than the owner. What if someone wants to steal the trailer? What about law enforcement? Really it is necessary to punch numbers through the database? It's time-consuming, and is it possible to allow controlled trailer without a warrant? Well, what if there are documents - can they fake. So what that the hijacking of a trailer is not declared - you may have forgotten.

Another argument against the insurance policy replacement attorney - power of attorney indicated passport data and address registration and the owner of the car, and to whom he entrusted the management. This is extremely important in a country where at the entrance to any institution must present a passport.

Negative feedback on the bill says more than any error of Deputies or not they belong to the party. The government is not prepared to actually take the presumption of innocence: every citizen should first demand the authorities to prove that he is not a criminal, and did not steal anything. E-government in its utilitarian sense - as a large database - this is not an assistant: the burden of proof rests with each citizen, so he has to carry a pile of documents.

State Duma and the Federation Council have amended the law on compulsory motor TPL insurance, insurers are now in the payment of insurance will be entitled to take into account the degree of deterioration of the affected parts.

20 percent of the parts - only to such compensation from the insurance company can expect the owner of a used car, the victim of the accident. According to the adopted by the State Duma and the Federation Council of amendments to the law on insurance, the insurers are entitled to take into account when calculating the amount payable wear affected components. This wear, however, can not exceed 80 percent of the cost of new parts.

"Insurers in the past have tried to thus reduce the size of payments for insurance, but after the decision of the Arbitration Court, who stood on the side of the car owners to do this was not easy," - recalls vice-president of the Movement of Russian Motorists Leonid Olshansky. The Russian Union of Insurers, in turn, believe that the law will not allow motorists to make a CTP as a scratch on the wing completely rusty "Lada" the owner asked him to pay for the purchase of new parts painting. "In 99.9 percent of cases before the courts agreed with the position of the insurance companies on accounting depreciation in the calculation of payments, except there were only isolated cases," - says spokesman Igor Vasiukov SAR.

The new procedure for calculating damages should now determine the government. Do it will not be easy. What if an accident shortly before the owner of the car has changed the worn out doors to new? All these arguments, as before, will be resolved in court, convinced Olshansky. According to statistics, PCA, in 2014 Russia had sold insurance policies by 85.8 billion rubles and paid to victims in the accident - only 45.9 billion. With the adoption of the law will reduce payments to insurers even more. 

For example, a new door to the popular Ford Focus is now worth 21 thousand 770 rubles and it is possible that the insurer would prefer to pay the owner of the car just 4 thousand 350 rubles. By the company's service with the amount even to approach uncomfortable - save perhaps that there are craftsmen in the nearby garage.

According to the All-Russian Insurance Association (ARIA), the share of payments in cases of fraud in 2014 amounted to about 20%. Try to figure out which is why the number of fraudulent appeals to insurers is growing, and consider whether the ordinary citizens themselves criminals?

Over the past ten years, insurers periodically reminisce about insurance fraud - trying to get insurance benefits by illegal means. Serious research scope of the problem was not, but the insurance company before the crisis assured that fraudsters gets 10-15% of all payments. It is about 30 billion rubles a year, if we take as a base compensation to individuals. And in 2014, it is estimated the All-Russian Insurance Association (ARIA), the share of payments in cases of fraud rose to 20%.

What does it mean and how the insurers, these figures are real? According to the BCC, of ​​all fraud cases only 5-7% is like a criminal "of the bases" - specially organized accidents. Such crimes are today quite easily expanded - insurers are sharing information about the participants of suspicious incidents and to quickly calculate the intruders. And what about the other 95%? This, according to insurers, domestic crooks. In fact - the ordinary Russian citizens, insured car or an apartment, and no accidents or arson are not satisfied with.

Imagine a typical situation: two cars collided, the drivers who have comprehensive insurance policies. You can wait for the traffic police, creating a traffic jam on the road during rush hour, and can be left for home the next day to issue an accident in the yard, pretending that the car damaged in the parking lot. Ask for car owners: so did almost every second. From the perspective of the insurer, it is a scam. And from the point of view of the motorist - all to be honest. The car is damaged in an accident, then the insurer must pay, but how it is executed - minor matters.

Another example. Banks are often forced to mortgage borrowers to insure the life and health. Eight people out of a hundred, are recognized as the security of insurance companies, with the questionnaire "forget" to indicate their chronic diseases. Serious illness can increase the cost of the policy is 20% - but why not save on imposed because apparently meaningless service?

Or here's another case that happened recently with my friends. Behind the wheel was the wife, and her name was not written in the policy. To get paid, they had to present the matter as if the wheel was the head of the family. And about different kinds of agreements with appraisers, which can increase the amount of payments, says almost every car owner, who was in an accident. No precise estimates, but security officials privately claim that at least 7 out of 10 drivers in such situations, go to the hoax.

Clients have something to say in his defense. Many companies in the early 2000s tried to understate the amount of damage, lousy service offered, pulling in payments for several months, if not disappeared from their offices. Until now, there are all sorts of insurance rules pitfalls, allowing no compensation for the damage. The procedure for registration of losses is still long and difficult. Have left their mark and the introduction of the 2013 insurance policies. Insurers could not cope with the settlement procedure and the cost of policies was well above expectations. And who in this case is a crook?

Therefore, customers do not hesitate called rogue insurers and consider: get the insurance company to pay - a holy cause, and any means are good here. And attempts to expose the cheating customers of companies perceived as yet another scam.

 

In order to somehow reduce the number of cheaters, insurers could go towards customers. To facilitate the procedure of registration of damage, remove the rule, some exceptions. Steps in this direction, of course, being made. For example, insurance for small accidents without injury since March 2014. You can claim without reference traffic police. However, in this case, the payment may not exceed 25000 rubles. This innovation, which car owners have received in exchange for an average 10 percent increase in tariffs on insurance, could significantly reduce the number of traffic jams on the roads, but actually does not work - the maximum amount of compensation for accidents, decorated without the participation of the traffic police, is too small.

The liberalization of the order of execution is not too fast - insurers it is absolutely not necessary. Cases of "consumer fraud" incorporated in the tariffs, pre-paid customers the opportunity to deceive the insurer. And he opened the deception, in no hurry to start criminal proceedings, preferring simply to convince the client to give up the money. And this kind of a social contract in which each of the parties to deceive others, in general, work. That's only operating costs and expenses for intermediaries are too high.

This year, the legislative and judicial authorities have finally put an end to disputes that are intended to compensate the insurers for insurance: the cost of repairing the vehicle , "innocent victim" in an accident, or the residual value of the damaged parts with regard to their wear and tear?

Presidium of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation explained (to dull judges and motorists requiring insurance companies full reparation for harm) that the size of the victim's recovery costs should be determined on the basis of the cost of bringing the damaged car in the operation, given the wear. 

Actually, all the controversy arose around this latest addition of wear. Earlier this interpretation formally contrary to the law of insurance and the Civil Code. But the law is corrected, and the conflict with the Civil Code has eliminated its explanation of the Presidium: now the account of wear and tear should be considered a "special rule in relation to the general rules of the Civil Code for damages." All legal and logical. Case closed.

But the trouble: the logic is different. Insurers have one - on what grounds the owner battered car in an accident victim must at their own expense to update the old parts? No, let pays out of pocket! Car owners have another line of thought - I was not going to change anything in your car, I really liked the shabby, with traces of rust, rear wing, which had entered into. So why do I suddenly have to shell out when responsibility "who has entered" was insured? No, let the insurer will pay for all, or - if you will - to put the wing with the same share of wear and tear ...

Both approaches have their place. The question is on whose side the law and authority. Recently, they took the side of the insurance business. However, and for the benefit of motorists it made several clarifications. For example, given that the wear may not exceed 80% (and thanks for that, though 20% of the parts may be claimed from the insurer). It was also noted that the insurer shall indemnify the replacement elements completely eliminates damage. That is, if the proverbial wing was attached in any kind of one-off rivets or bracket, you need to replace them as well. Also, do not wear should be considered components and assemblies, a fault which prohibits the operation of the vehicle. The exact list of them yet, but here is theoretically possible to carry quite a wide range of parts from the braking and steering systems to the lighting equipment .

All points above the i, seemingly apart, but disputes over insurance continues. The fact that there is still no single methodology for calculating the wear and tear of vehicles - it must be developed by the government. It thinks about it, but so far has not responded to all the questions. And that has already established, it is quite contentious. For example, one of the main factors influencing the timing of depreciation, it is proposed to consider the country of origin of the car. The most durable recognized as "Japanese", followed by "Europeans." And all the cars produced in Russia - including the "Ford" and "Toyota" - set to last place.Where is the justice, not to mention patriotism?

However, concern about the national insurance business - is also patriotism. And I must say it, we have achieved good results. The paradox, but in times of crisis insurance was the main "growth point" of the insurance market. According to statistics market insurance grew in the first quarter of 2015 by 13.5% compared to the same period last year (18,8 billion). This was the highest rate of growth in almost two years.

What had caused this growth? Motor Insurers surveyed recently RIA "Novosti", give different answers. Some argue that it resumed growth in sales of new cars, of course, be insured. But if it was only this, it would grow and the market hull. He sank, as well as other types of property insurance. So, it is not in sales. Obviously, a more detailed answer is given by representatives of "Ingosstrakh" and "Rosgosstrakh": they believe that the real reason for the growth of insurance market was the new multiplying factors to tariffs, which were introduced in March last year. 

It was then raised territorial surcharges, interest on age and length of service, as well as allowance for the conclusion of the contract, without limiting the number of persons admitted to management. Accordingly, these developments have led to a gradual increase in fees the insurers, which was reflected in the statistics by the middle of the year. Indeed, if in the first quarter of 2014 insurance market fell by 3.1% already in the first half rose by 1.7% in the first three quarters - by 5.4% and for the year - 6, 6%.
